Why music isn’t about making money
Everywhere I read I see voiced dismay about music not making anyone any money. Music being stolen, music being copied, music being turned into something that is watered down, diluted and shared without any respect for the label or the artist. It’s true, all this is happening but it doesn’t take away the fact that music is still being made without any thought of monetary reward. Musicians all around the world record and perform every day regardless of whether they’ll be paid for it or not. That’s music. Music’s an artform. A way to express, a way to escape, a way to entertain.
Do you think these guys, the Black Keys, think about money upfront before they perform? Do you think they are always worried about who rips off their music?
